Arranged (On Hold)

A3: Written Across My Forehead

[ Chris Avergy on the side ]

'Written Across My Forehead'

 

"I'll sit by you" James side placing his hand on my shoulder calming me down. When we reach the dinner table I saw the Adams are already seated but then they stood up when they saw us coming towards them.

My eyes suddenly find an attraction to my shoes ignoring all of the stares "Bella?" someone ask, I look up to see Mrs. Adam. "Hi" I whispered "Awe. Hunny don't be shy around us, you look beautiful as always. Do you remember us?" she ask nicely, I nodded.

They were a family friend of dad, when I was a kid around 5 or 6 years old, I always love to play in their garden near my old house. And guess who I played with...Liam. People say he was my best friend when we were 5 but then I move when I was 12 to LA and because I was so young I didn't remember most of the things we do.

I know Liam doesn't remember anything from his childhood, but all I know is he was my best friend who calls me Ellie, just like Matt does. I didn't bother to tell him that I was his best friend but it's like almost 11 years ago so why bother?

When I turn to great Liam, I saw him smiling at me. Is this guy bipolar?

"Hi" i said trying to be friendly "Hey" he said still smiling more like smirking. I swallow the big lump in my throat and avert my eyes somewhere else. It's creeping me out, okay? I walk towards my seat and sit down like everyone did. To my right are James, mom and dad and my left are Chris, Matt and Sara.

Matt looks scared when he saw Liam, I guess he remember him as the guy who slap me. "Let's order shall we?" Liam's dad said picking up the menu.

I pick up my menu and scroll down the menu with my eyes. After we said our orders to the waiters, Liam's dad coughed "As we all are here to break the news to Liam and I bet Bella already figure that out" He said to me and Liam, I nodded and Liam just sit there all confused.

Wait, he's the one I'm going to be marrying? Wow! Could this day get any worse! Wait don't answer that! It just did!

"Liam, I know you forgot about your 5 year old childhood but since you were 5, me and Martino concluded that Liam and Bella are going to be in an arrange marriage" he said slowly watching his son reaction.

I swear I could hear the couple not to far from us talking about the weather the dead silent that came over to our table, Wow, I didn't know Liam's brain is having a delay on the news we just gave him.

"What? I'm in an arrange marriage? How can I don't know about this? How could you?" Liam half-shouted to his dad even though it's a semi-private room. This room is surrounded by glass. We could see the people on the non-private room but they can't see us. "Liam, honey calm down" his mom places her hand on top of his. "Calm down? I don't wanna calm down! I have my whole life ahead of me! I can't be put up to this arrange marriage shit!" he shouted before turning his eyes towards me standing up.

"And you! You know about this? You're so weak! You can't fight on your own life!" He spat pointing at me. I know that I'm weak, you don't have to bring it up. It's practically written across my forehead, i thought rolling my eyes. "That's enough Liam!" dad and his dad shouted at him making him sit down in his seat cursing.

After dinner Liam was forced to live with us since his house was much further than us. Notice the sarcasm!

I enter the house and hurriedly went upstairs to my room. I sigh and sit down on my bed taking it all in.
